"shitting hell, there's bits everywhere!"

Quite surprised originally that bit went out just before the break for the news - not so much because of the time but because at that point people tuning in just for the news would have hot an eyeful. Sadly doubt they'd risk that nowadays.

One thing the retrospective highlighted is how Comic Relief had some great sets over the years - I guess it's partly because of outsourcing the BBC and other broadcasters just don't have the in-house set design teams around anymore regularly changing the look of shows.

Of course there is also the image of a telethon especially spending money on a new look every year or two to consider, although how much of the set is actually kept in storage and how much newly built from year to year? I suspect the screens are used in different ways for different projects throughout the year rather than sat in storage collecting dust.


I do think after bring in use since 2019 it's probably time to refresh everything next year - I do think if they can find three faces willing to take it on for the next decade and push them as the new era of Comic Relief it would be great, perhaps hosting alone next year then in future years breaking up into different partnerships and adding more people to the mix.
